Abstract
Global warming presents one of the most serious threats to South American nations. These countries are at risk of a variety of climate change related problems: rising sea levels, diminishing potable water supplies, forest fires, intense storms and flooding, heat waves, and the spread of diseases. These disasters are occurring more frequently in the region and will likely increase in intensity also. The armed forces in the region, the only government departments with both the capacity and the manpower to respond to these massive catastrophes, has to assist civil authorities with these kinds of natural disasters. This type of support to civilian authorities will occur more frequently and under more severe conditions as climate change conditions worsen.
